Day 15 of #Paleoctober2022: Heterodontosaurus
(Irritated by a curious Dracovenator)
A new #paleontology #blog of mine titled "The South African Dragon Hunter" is now out, covering things we know for #Dracovenator and reconstructive choices I did for it.
Information is subject to change

A dinosaur-human size comparison of #Dracovenator, with calculated length along centra (8.11 meters) and resting length (based off the given pose) (6.76 meters). Mass estimation place it in the 576~ kg ballpark (excluding crests)

#Dracovenator is an Early Jurassic theropod found in the Elliot Formation. Some may consider it nearly identical to #Dilophosaurus, but its material and current phylogenetic placement says otherwise, being closer to #Cryolophosaurus.

Dracovenator, found in South Africa, likely would’ve been among the largest theropods of its time. The fossils date back to the early Jurassic, roughly 200 mya. #TheropodThursday #dinosaurs #paleontology
Ignych is a combination of "Ignite" and the Greek word "Nychos" (Claw).
Nychos is based on Afrovenator, a Megalosaurid theropod that lived in Middle Jurassic period in Africa, hell even its name translates to "African Hunter". It also draws minor inspiration from Dracovenator.
A little late but here's Day 1 of #JurassicJune!
Dracovenator
A large theropod from the Elliot Formation, Dracovenator regenti lived in the early jurassic of South Africa being a major predator of the varied herbivores that existed in the region, including small sauropodomorphs and the minuscule ornithischians.
A close relative of the Dilophosaurus, this exotic predator is a vicious one. Dracovenator will eat pretty much any animal smaller than itself. Dracovenator’s bite is laced with a mild venom which becomes lethal in high doses delivered through repeated bites to the prey animal.
